I don't remember if this was common in the past, or is a relatively new phenomenon.
I've ran into a couple of these lately in which I needed to get something done between noon and 1:00 pm only to discover that the business is completely closed.
Seems odd that in this day and age that a business would completely shut the doors and not answer the phone during the time that most people have to run errands.
Was this more common in the past?
The two businesses this week were an orthopedic office and the DMV.
